President's Message - September 2017

Have you had fun with your roses this summer? I have! My message for my term is “Roses are fun!” You will receive a “Roses are Fun” window decal to put on your car or home window at our first meeting.

New members who are signing up this year will receive a rose for joining our society. We hope this will increase our membership along with the ARS free membership for four months. Thanks to Cyd and Art Wade who have offered to supply the roses.
